The farmers Of the east half Of Yank-

The farmers of the east half OF Yank-
ton county are beginning to realize that
the Russian thistle is an enemy Of for
midable proportions. Years ago when
the Press and Dakotaian urged the ex.
termination of this weed the process
would have been easy. Then the Rus
sian thistle existed along the highways
and in the edges Of adjacent fields. Nov
1t is thIckly planted all over the fields
and lies like mat in the etubble of
harvested small grain. The Russian
thistle was introduced at eu early day
by the Russian immigrants who landed
at YanEton. A few seeds came in their
goods and were scattered at the depot
and along the roads over which their
goods were transported to their claims,
At maturity this thistle ia tumble
weed. Each plant bears thousands OF
seeds. Driven before the autumn winds
these seeds are scattered over the fields
whore they grow and multiply with
astonishing rapidity. Already they
threaten to drive out agriculture, and
this threat will be accomplished unless
vigorous warfare is waged.

one Of the party asserted that .Canada

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader advises
the Mitchell Republican that Auditor
Ward did not represent the governor at
the time he visited Trustee VanTassel,
Of the insane hospital, and urged that
gentleman to I'LL the hospital with dem.

says:
Now, dear Mr.. Republican, will you
candidiy ask yourself If 1t has been
proven or admitted that the aterritorlal
auditor representing the governor" has
made this demand? You know he hasn't
and you don't believe word that you

lie. II it were not for the names of the
witnesses given and the corroboration
the Capital would be inclined to doubt
this statement as 30 disposition OF that
kind has been manifested by the govern
or towards the institution at this place
that We have heard of, but. on the other
hand We have heard complaints that no
democrats ere employed In the institu-
tion. The policy OF the governor seems
to be to give all the remunerative pat
ronage of his administration into the
hands OF the republican party and with
very few possible exceptions that has
been the rule of his administration, He
has been generous (?) to a fanlt in this
regard go far as it seemed to favor his
own personal ends and aggrsndizement.
Further than this, Mr.. Bowen says
that after the investigation was eomplet-
ed public examiner Harris was asked
what he thought of the hospital map-
agement to which he replied that he did
not think it could be improved. III
seems that the only IrreguIarity dis
covered by the investigation was the
transfer of some OF the funds from one
specific appropriation to another and he
claims that the governor and auditor
sanctioned that by taking the same pri-
vilege with the maintenance fund OF
the institution to pny the public exam
lner $285 for his services in making the
investigation. So far as hos yet been
made public the only grounds for
for charging shortage OF So, COO against
the management of the institution seems
to be that some experts have estimated
that the work could have been done for

The governor is credited with saying
that when the insane hospital at Yank,

patients for want of accommodations he
will have the additional patients from
the southern part OF the territory sent
to north Dakota hospital of this place..
Besides there being no law of the terri
tory authorizing snoh course it would

but 1t would be an additional and un-
provided for drain and burden upon the
maintenance fund OF the institution
here. probably n1cessitating deficiency
which the governor has already given
notice that he would not tolerate. AT
the same time there is $4,000 tied mp in
the territorial treasury which cannot be
used in the construction OF the additional
buildings at Yankton for which it was
appropriated because TIE governor re-.

Every race in every cline has thought
itself immortal, but the seed that was
sown always brought its harvest. In
this very land once lived millions and
millions of tolerably civilized people,
whose language, religion, habits and his
tory are veiled in mysterious gloom, ex-
cept that here and there great mounds
of earth remained in attestation of the
existence of great unknown race.
They probably thought themselves i'm
mortal and they perished utterly from
the face of the earth. We think our
selves immortal, and yet if we go on as
we now do it is as sure to happen as it
has always happened in the centuries
that are gone, that our race and history,
the hopes of our forefathers, all that we
once were and all that we had expected
to be, will, in a few centuries hence,
absolutely s.l.isi. f.e,Al tiIC Ano"l~dSE
of mankind. We, too, may leave relig-
ious, political and social mounds. And
when Macaulay's Zealander is sitting on
the bridge, some scientist of the future,
digging for relics in our social mounds,
will find them merely refuse heaps, made
up ofworn- out patent-leather shoes, soil
ed gloves, troken opera hats, withered
flowers, terrapin bones and empty cham
payne bottles.

Digging a Well.

An Irishman took the contract to dig
a public well. When he had dug about
twenty five feet down; he came one
morning and found it caved in-filled
nearly to the top. Pat looked cautious
ly around and saw that no one was near,
he took off his hat and coat, hung them
on the windlass, crawled into some
bushes and awaited events. In short
time the citizens discovered that the
we'll had caved in, and seeing Pats hat
and coat on the windlass supposed that
he was at the bottom of the excavation.
Only few hours of brisk digging clear
ed the loose earth from the well. Just
as the eager citizens had reached the bot
tom, and were wondering where the
body was, Pat came out of the bushes,
and good-naturedly thanked them for
relieving him of so sorry job. Some
of the tired diggers were disgusted, but
the joke was too good to allow anything
more than hearty laugh, which soon
followed.

Little do we Know of Each Other,

How little we know of each other;
We pass through the journey of life,
With its struggles, its fears and temptations,
Its heart rt-breaking cares and its strife;
We see things alone on the surface,
For few of us glory in sin;
And an unruff1ed face is no index
Of fire that RACES wildly within.
How little we know of each other,
The man who walks quietly by
With wealth and with honor and title,
And holds his head proudly on high,
Oft carries dread secrets within him,
That render existence curse;
Dread secrets that scar his soul over,
Of crime, or misfortune, or worse.
How little we know of each other:
The woman of fashion who sneers
At her sister, whom fate has abandoned
To poverty, misery, tears,
May prove ere the sun rise tomorrow
More deeply immersed in disgrace,
And the sadness sneered at in another
Be pictured upon her own face.
How little we know of each other
Of our own hearts how little we know
We are all feeble under temptation,
---'- Dc statio1l' Ia iire hisii
All then let sweet charity rule US,
And help one another to win
The crown that awaits those who strive for
Avoidance of shame and Of sin.

The Odd and End Talent.
Good HousekeeDinq,


Putting odds and ends together in
the home is great art, and out of it can
come all manner of beauty and law and
order. If you have no talent for it, do
something which you have talent for for
friend and let that friend who has the
odd and end talent do for you. If, in
the fall and spring, when purchases are
to be made for the clothing of the house
and the clothing of the family, a little
reflection were exercised, the result
would be far better taste than if things
were bought without regard to harmony
or fitness. Suppose in one room in the
house, there is worn out carpet, In an
other room chair needs upholstering,
and in the dining room the damask
needs replenishing, suits are needed for
the boys, dresses for the girls. Why
not take the worn out clothes of the boys
and cut out the best pieces of cloth, and
get some brass tacks and upholster your
chair yourself? Perhaps you say the
pieces are not large enough and the col
or is not good, but if your friend with
the odd and end talent is there, she will
tell you how to do it. Now there must
be, in the worn out carpet, some good
pieces which can have at either end some
plain wooden fringe, and then you can
use these little rugs as mating or to
save your new carpet. The beauty OF
them will depend entirely on the kind
of fringe you buy and the color. Dark
blue goes with almost anything. You
will save enough money by little turns
of this kind to buy better quality OF
damask for your table, and what distin-
guishes woman of good taste from a
woman of bad taste sooner than the style
of her table damask? Let us never have
silk dress until we can buy the best
damask. Let US never have silver until
we can have good china.
